How do you disable console mode?
I went to restart my comp and came back about 15 mins later and I discovered my computer was in console mode and I have no clue how to get out of it. I can log in as root but thats all I know right now at this point. if anyone can help me with this please post asap cause I just did something on my comp I need to finish.
Thanks |
On most systems, Alt+F7 gets you into graphical mode. If this does not work, it's likely that graphical mode is not running. In this case, return to console with Alt+F1 and as root, execute
Code:
/sbin/init 3 && /sbin/init 5 HTH, Samsara . |
From console mode,
you can try "startx", or "/etc/init.d/gdm start" to get to a graphical login screen. (assuming X is set up) |

Starting up the X Window System through a display manager if for some strange reason it didn't start automatically
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm start But I suspect there is something wrong since it is to say the least not exactly common for it not to start automatically. To list all errors and warnings from the X log file, execute: For XFree86 (Debian 3.1 'sarge'): Code:
grep '^(EE)\|^(WW)' /var/log/XFree86.0.log Code:
grep '^(EE)\|^(WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log For XFree86 (Debian 3.1 'sarge'): Code:
less /var/log/XFree86.0.log Code:
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log To re-run the X Window System configuration, execute: For XFree86 (Debian 3.1 'sarge'): Code:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 --priority=medium Code:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --priority=medium |
